Summer Anime Picks

We’re a few weeks into the Summer 2024 Season and it’s looking good!

I started some of these anime already (caught some premiers at Anime Expo!) and there are some I still need to checkout. Let me know what you think!

Tower of God Season 2

Airing on Crunchyroll

After 4 years, Tower of God is back! I watched the first season when it aired in 2020 and have been waiting for its return. Season 1 ended in Rachel betrayal and we all were annoyed. I did read some of the webtoon to remember what happed in Season 1 and I remember how cool the story is. I did get to watch the first 2 episodes at Anime Expo and the action action is great so far. Looking forward for what’s next!

Synopsis
Fame. Glory. Power. Anything in your wildest dreams is possible when you reach the top of the Tower of God. Those lucky enough to be chosen by the tower ascend each floor in hopes of fulfilling their dreams, but to succeed, they must complete dangerous and deadly tests along the way. But there are others who can enter the structure on their own free will; these “irregulars” are feared by many and are said to leave chaos and change in their wake. Twenty-Fifth Baam is one such irregular who begins to climb the Tower of God in hopes of reuniting with his childhood friend Rachel, but as he soon discovers, this perilous path will put him in the crosshairs of fierce competitors, untrustworthy rivals and terrifying monsters, and he might not make it out alive…ned

Oshi No Ko Season 2

Airing on Hidive

This was on of my favorites anime last year so of course I’m excited for the second season! I caught the premiere of the first 2 episodes at Anime Expo and it was fun watching it with the crowd. I am looking forward to the rest of the season, I do enjoy stage plays (I did Thearter Tech in College and High School) and I want to learn how it’s done in Japan!

Synopsis

In the entertainment industry, lying is both your strongest weapon and an exceptional form of love. Goro, a gynecologist and a massive B-Komachi stan, finds his life turned upside down when his newest patient turns out to be B-Komachi member Ai-chan herself! Despite the industry seeing children as a idol’s death sentence, the 16-year-old Ai still desperately wants to give birth. So under the cover of secrecy, Goro helps the young idol with her prenatal care… only to be attacked and killed the night she’s due to give birth. Reincarnated as one of her newborn twins, Goro (now Aquamarine Hoshino) gets to spend 24 hours a day in the arms of his favourite idol! But can a ditzy young idol with a life full of lies make a good mother? And what of Ruby, his suspiciously verbose sister?

Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest

Airing on Crunchyroll

Ahhh! Fairy Tail was one of he first anime I watched and it holds a special place in my heart. I am still a big fan of the series and I’m looking forward to see these characters again in action. I love this world of Fiore, magic, quests and I excited to meet the new characters. It’s fitting that the anime premiered on 7/7 (iykyk).

Synopsis (Kodansha)

A wizard’s job is never done! Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, and the whole Fairy Tail guild are back in action! And they’ve decided to tackle the “100 Years Quest”— a job no one’s dared take on since the founding of the guild more than a century ago. A mysterious town, a baffling spirit, a ghastly new enemy… and a brand-new continent to explore. When you’re with real friends, the adventures never stop!

Dungeon People

Airs January 4th on Netflix

After watching Delicious in Dungeon for 6 months I felt like I had to watch another Dungeon show! I like mysteries and Dungeon exploring so I’m sure I’ll enjoy this a lot.

Synopsis (Seven Seas)

Clay was trained by her father to be an expert member of the thieves’ guild. Since her father disappeared three years ago, she’s been using her skills to search for him in a dungeon filled with goblins, a Minotaur, and all manner of other dangerous creatures. When Clay reaches deeper than anyone ever has before, she meets the caretaker of the dungeon. To her surprise, Clay is invited to join the staff! And thus begins Clay’s new job–to learn the inner workings and behind-the-scenes secrets of the dungeon from the inside.
